Subject: RE: BS: The End of Science in Texas...
When something is in quotes, as was "believe in science", the quotes imply that the phrase is something other than a typical meaning.

I don't blame you for not understanding the distinction I'm drawing. I'm not the greatest at conveying my thoughts. And it may be the first time you've ever heard anyone question that there may be a distinction between actual science, and what is referred to as the "scientific" side of the evolution/creation debate...

... a "science" that believes it has concluded no creation.

A "science" that believes that adaptation and evolution are one and the same -- and don't understand that even the most hard-core creationist believes in adaptation too.

A "science" that accepts, when it comes to the jumps necessary in evolution to go from, for instance, inanimate matter to living matter -- that "because it did" is a more definitive conclusion than "I don't know".
